We had a great time of worship and devotion this morning. The team reflected on the past week and how blessed we all were to serve here in Guatemala. We shared about how humbling it was for all of us to visit little Romeo’s family in their remote village home yesterday. So many infants and children die every day here from malnutrition and preventable diseases. We were privileged to witness the incredible transformation of Romeo, who was rescued from death’s doorstep by the great mercy of God using His servants from AVIS Salud as His hands and feet. This left a lasting impression upon each of us!

We met the movers this morning at the warehouse to move the rest of the medical supplies to the hospital. We then said our goodbyes to 5 of our team members heading back to the U.S.. We were so sad to see them go! The rest of the team got a lion’s share of the hospital set up for the dental / surgical team that’s flying in tomorrow. This has been an amazing week! Please pray for safe travels for everyone returning home and those flying in.
